if you got it to be slightly bigger and you welded the bottom on then it would wobbble around wit hthe load of the spring and you wouldn't be able to weld it to be perfectly in centre of the strut.
measure the strut the way I did and wrap some sttring around the circumference of the strut.
Measure the length of string and divide that number by pi to get your diameter (it is 100% easier if you take the wheel off).
with a bit of heating of one object and cooling of the other I would say the fit should get nice and snug. and welding would then just be a matter of holding the sleeve in place rather than trying to centre it on the strut.
